You just proved that you base your opinions without any consideration to facts and only on your ideology which in case is as a Ferguson Truther. I'll say a prayer for you to become less narrow minded and more inclusive of others.

That police officer in Ferguson was just defending himself from that vicious criminal thug, Michael Brown. This miserable punk got exactly what he deserved for fighting that cop and trying to steal his gun.

Am surprised huff post finally came around to reporting the truth in this article - mob hysteria based on lies about the event that clears officer Wilson. Same thing the DOJ reported.

it was incomprehensible to me why people refused to believe the 8 or so black eye witnesses who testified to the grand jury backing up what the officer said happened - the latest DOJ report about systematic racism is a sad truth that i am sure is not the only police department nationwide doing that - the whole drug war and who gets incarcerated is nothing but a race war. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul confesses the same fact.

Why did we never hear from the Asian shop keeper that Brown roughed up and robbed.,not a word? Why didn't the media cover the half dozen or so black on black gang murders in Oakland around the same time.

Most of those being shot have a criminal past .Does it allow them to be shot , not it doesn't , but if you are guilty of any criminal mischief , be smart , put your hands up and let yourself be arrested .

It always bring a smile to my face , when i hear the mothers of those shot saying " my child was the best " , i so want to tell them , " Madame , you failed as a parent " !!

Be smart , don't resist arrest , if you have done nothing wrong , it can just be a misunderstanding that will be cleared later on . Life is important , don't mess with your own life !!

Kollektiv saidI guess you're the sort of person that points to the Rolling Stone rape article to prove that rape isn't a problem on college campuses.

To Kollektiv^LOL !!! Demographically speaking you just proved you're the type of idiot who automatically believed the Rolling Stone article and that Michael Brown was some sweet innocent boy who never hurt anyone or ever stole a thing.

The point is that all the arson, vandalism, theft, protests, jivey acts of solidarity, ranting speeches by the #1 profiteer of racial division in the US - were all justified with a sack full of bullshit lies according the DOJ report.

Just playing around I caught one statistical misrepresentation in the DOJ report that others have noted since. In news reports back several months up to and including the DOJ report idiots have cite stats that "sound" like racism is rampant in Ferguson traffic stops. When you look at it in relationship to other cities FERGUSON HAS A VERY LOW RATE for being stopped by police for "driving while black."

And the liberal idea that a higher arrest rate for blacks is a sure sign of racism is bullshit. As it is now blacks comprise 13% of the US population and are responsible for 56% of all murders in the USA. There goes that theory that higher rates of arrest are always signs of racism.

Did you that when looked at in consideration with other cities in the US, Ferguson's arrest rate for blacks is AVERAGE???? Cities with the highest disparities in arrest rates for blacks are actually the ones know for being LIBERAL... Berkley California, -- Madison Wisconsin - Minneapolis - Atlanta - Oakland California.......

We just recently had a shooting in Madison of a black guy by a cop and it's Ferguson all over again in Madison. Hopefully, the thugs don't destroy this city and this cop like they did in Ferguson. Madison is a friendly biking city and has a naked bike ride every year.

It may well be that the police officer acted entirely properly, but your statement about the malefactor is unwarranted.

Part of the problem is over-generalization. We know for a fact that many police misbehave and many have a very negative attitude towards blacks, a situation which should be corrected. Of course that does not prove that every time a policeman shoots a black person he is acting inappropriately. Incidents should be investigated individually rather than basing conclusions on generalizations.

He was a robber and not someone you want to mess with. Whenever you break the law like this, you are playing russsian roulette with your life. I don't feel sorry one bit when criminals get killed while in the act of a crime. It serves them right and teaches others to be more respectful of other people's property.

So 1 incident was mischaracterized and that means all racism and excessive force claims are debunked? You're an idiot.

And don't mind that part of the DOJ report that PROVES there is institutional and systematic racism in ticketing, which tends to parlay into corroborating claims of excessive force and other racism. You can't use citizens are a revenue stream--tickets can't be ad hoc taxes--and that's all the more the case when you do it along racial lines.

I don't feel sorry for him either. However, it is for the legal system to determine what is an appropriate sentence. In the case at hand, it looks as though the policeman who shot the malefactor may have had little choice which was unfortunate since there was no opportunity for a trial.

I think:1. Michael Brown was doing the wrong thing and he contributed to his own death.2. That enough people in Ferguson were likely targeted to the extent that the community felt harrassed.3. That police need our support to protect our community.4. That our community needs the support of the police, too.

I don't disagree. However, in addition, I think that the police department requires a complete overhaul based on the results of an investigation.
